Will Magic regret firing Van Gundy?
Orlando needs change K.C. Johnson Chicago Tribune Define regret.

How big a problem is flopping in the NBA?
All part of the game Barry Stavro Los Angeles Times Flopping gets attention because it's a play near the ball.

What would you do with Josh Beckett?
Get through to him Steve Gould Baltimore Sun As much as Josh Beckett's comments show a disconnect with — perhaps even outright disrespect for — his team and its fans, the Red Sox have little recourse other than to try to hammer into his...Tags: Boston Red Sox, Cancer, Hearing Impairment, Chicago Tribune, Baseball
